Fay Godwin Fay Godwin is known internationally for
landscape and portrait work and, in particular, for her bestselling landscape
collection Land,
and also for, Our Forbidden Land,
a hard hitting environmental polemic with 30,000 words of her own text. Land
was exhibited at the Serpentine Art Gallery and Yale Centre for British Art in
the USA and was extensively toured. In 1986 Godwin was the first photographer to
be featured on the South Bank Show. In 1987 she was Fellow at the National
Museum of Photography, Film and Television, Bradford and worked in colour
documentary. She is the author and co-author of 17 books of photographs and has
worked with several celebrated writers, including Ted Hughes (Remains of
Elmet 1979,
and Elmet in 1994), John Fowles and Alan Sillitoe. The Edge of the
Land
was published in 1995, and explored several areas of the British coastline and
changing populations with photographs and her own interviews. Since 1990, Godwin
has been working in a less representational way in colour and close-up in
(mainly) cultivated landscape. A major exhibition of this work was toured by
Warwick Arts Centre from 1995-7, and in 1999 Godwin self-published an exquisite
small artist’s book of this work called Glassworks & Secret Lives (available
through Duckspool for £13.99 inc p&p). Her work is held in public and
private collections world-wide. Godwin was President of The Ramblers’
Association from 1987-90. A major retrospective of her work
"Landmarks" was at the Barbican
Gallery in London in September 2001. In July 2002 Fay will receive an honorary
doctorate from De Montfort University Fay has a new
website where more information is available. Workshop History An undisputed highlight of the

"Nothing
is less real than realism. It is only by selection, by elimination, by
emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things"
